I am a nobleman in England

"Ok--"

Arthur got up from the boss chair, moved his arms and cervical spine, typing for four hours, making his strong body feel stiff and tired.No way, after all, sitting in front of the computer and typing in a posture is not something everyone can get used to.

I walked around the desk and walked to the large arched window where the setting sun was shining diagonally in. Looking out the window was the orange-red woods and grass slopes that were soaked by the setting sun. The lake in the distance was blown by ripples, like It was dusted with gold powder, shining with golden bo light.

"It's a beautiful place!" Arthur muttered to himself with a smile on his mouth. Today he just hurried around in the main garden area of ​​the manor. There are still many places he hasn't visited, and he hasn't come in a hurry to explore the forest. Sitting by the lake and feeding the ducks...Rolling on the grass.

Many ideas came to mind. Arthur couldn’t help sighing. Living here is really just doing whatever you want. You can spend a day happily and easily. No wonder, living in the country and owning a manor is the most British Ideal lifestyle.

"call--"

Arthur raised his arms, stretched his lazy waist, walked leisurely to the cloak mirror beside the study, and looked at himself in the mirror. The bandages and net caps on his head made him look a little funny, but handsome. His facial features, coupled with a pair of blue eyes, saved his image a lot.

Can be regarded as a typical British handsome, but he lacks the bookish and aristocratic aura, and some are just a simple handsomeness, with a sense of jealousy.

Arthur stretched out his hand and touched the growing hair and sighed. As a British, the most worrying thing about his hairline is his hairline. If he is killed, he will not shave his head again. From now on, he is I am worried about whether it will inevitably become bald in England. If it is really bald, a few strands of hair will be messy in the wind...Arthur couldn't help but shudder, and he shook his face, not daring to think further.

——

At this moment, the door of the study was knocked. When Arthur turned to look at the door, the door was pushed aside. The butler Paul walked in gracefully, leaned slightly at him, and smiled: "Earl, afternoon tea Time is up."

"Yeah." Arthur nodded slightly. To tell the truth, he was also looking forward to seeing the Earl's afternoon tea. After all, the afternoon tea of ​​the British nobles was boasted too much.

How to pretend to be a British aristocrat seriously?

Start with a cup of English afternoon tea.

There is a saying in England, saying, after drinking the right afternoon tea, the soul will have its own fragrance.

Butler Paul stepped away from the door, and then a waiter pushed a dining car in. After greeting Arthur respectfully, the waiter pushed the dining car to the rest area of ​​the study.

Arthur walked over and sat leisurely on the red velvet sofa, looking at the afternoon tea on the dining car with curiosity and expectation in his eyes.

A white porcelain teapot with unique patterns, a cold milk cup, and a teacup with a saucer.The nobleman immediately understood that you can drink tea directly here or use it to make NAI tea.

Next to it is an exquisite sapphire blue box with beautiful patterns. If you want to come, this is the famous jewelry box snack.

"Today's tea is Darjeeling. Its soup is orange-yellow and has a fragrant and elegant scent. The top grade especially has a muscat flavor and a delicate and smooth taste. It is known as "Champagne in Tea" and is a representative of the best tea..."

The butler Paul stood beside Arthur and introduced with a smile on his face. Arthur nodded slightly, but his eyes were serious as he watched the smiling waiter pour him tea.

The waiter picked up the teapot and poured two-thirds of the tea into the cup, then respectfully raised his head and asked: "Count, do you want to add beef NAI?"

"can."

After getting the answer, the waiter picked up the Niu NAI Cup and poured Niu Nai.Seeing Niu Nai blooming like white clouds made Arthur, a fake aristocrat, really feel that it is worthwhile to hire these people to serve.

In this way, an English-style NAI tea is complete, and then Arthur can add white sugar as he likes. However, the first time I drank English-style nai tea, it was too sweet, and Arthur was worried that he could not stand it, so Going to taste it first.

Grasping the teacup handle with his fingers gracefully, holding up the teacup, bowed his head and sipped a sip of the tea, and tasted it, although it feels a bit weird, but Arthur, who has drunk various nai teas in his previous life, can still accept it. , But it feels good.

Of course, an afternoon tea with its own aroma, naturally, can't miss the snacks, oh no, it is to taste the exquisite snacks in the jewelry box.

When the jewel box was brought up, Arthur couldn't help but become happy and look forward to it.To be honest, nothing can bring people that kind of heartfelt joy more than beauty and food.

The drawers of the box opened layer by layer, which surprised Earl Arthur.

A jewelry box afternoon tea has four layers, from bottom to top, they are scone, salty, dessert, and the last layer contains several Italian desserts.

"The first layer is vanilla and cranberry scones, the second layer is "Assorted Nut Cheese Bowl", "Teriyaki Eel Cucumber Cup", "Smoked Salmon with Butter Toast" and the third layer is "Mango Crab" "Yellow Chicken Roll" "Tuna Fish Mousse with Black and White Toast" The fourth layer "Fresh Strawberry Japanese Cheesecake" Loves Mascarpone Mousse, "Mango Mousse", and "Berry Ice Cream Mousse."

The waiter displayed all the gourmet snacks in the jewelry box in front of the earl. The exquisite snacks were pleasing to the eye.

"Hehe, in order to welcome you home for the first afternoon tea, James prepared for several hours and made it meticulously." The butler Paul on the side explained with a smile.

"James Jones? Thank him for helping me." Arthur smiled and nodded. He also understood the idea of ​​his own chef. After all, he changed to a new employer, especially as a chef. If the food cannot be recognized and favored by the employer, Then, it is not far from unemployment.

Arthur picked up a piece of hot scones, cut it open with a dining knife, and took up the spreading knife, and began to spread homemade cranberry jam and fragrant NAI oil on the two biscuits.

Then I closed it, brought it to my mouth, took a bite, the taste was delicate and appetizing.

"Yes, very delicious!"

Eating a delicious snack, Arthur's eyes lit up slightly, and he praised without hesitation. At this moment, he really didn't know how to complain about his predecessor. He didn't enjoy such a happy top life. He ran out to die. , The head is really caught by the door!

As soon as his appetite opened up, Arthur couldn't stop, and then he ate the assorted nut cheese bowl. A whole piece of cheese wrapped a small handful of nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, and melon seeds. There were many types, and finally a piece of dried apricots was added.

Eat it whole, sweet and sour, salty, rich and full-bodied...

The salmon has a strong smoky flavor. The toast is coated with salty butter, and the surface is dotted with a thin layer of radish to provide a hint of sweetness, which is eaten in one breath, with a hint of refreshing in the richness.

The crepes are wrapped with chicken, crab sticks, and fresh mango.Chicken NEN is extremely fresh, and when paired with crab sticks, it can also have a higher umami taste. The sweetness of mango enhances the level of umami. It is an absolutely exquisite dessert...

......

When eating fresh strawberry Japanese-style cheesecake, Arthur really fell in love with this kind of cake. The light cheesecake is fluffy like a cloud. The thin NAI oil is very fragrant and only slightly sweet. Going down is like eating a fragrant and delicious bubble, and the entrance is gone.

"The best today!"

While Arthur ate happily, he said to the butler beside Paul that it was definitely the best food for the nobleman to eat all the snacks.

"Hehe, I believe James will definitely be very happy when he learns about it." Butler Paul looked at the count, who was completely captured by the food, with a happy smile on his face, a pair of bright eyes gleaming with wisdom.

In this way, in a blink of an eye, Arthur finished the afternoon tea in a jewelry box.

The full Arthur leaned on the sofa and exclaimed: "If you have another cocktail or fruit wine at this time, it will be even more wonderful."

"Hehe, I'm sorry Earl, you are not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages until the injury on your head is healed."

"Cough cough, I just sighed." Arthur said helplessly after a little embarrassed cough, but there was always a hint of sweetness floating in the air.Arthur felt sincerely at this moment that such an exquisite afternoon tea did not find a trace of memory from the memory of his predecessor. Perhaps this is probably the case of aristocratic life. He is accustomed to all the high-level existences around him and is not worthy of special memory. Right.
